Ko wai mātou | The Organisation
We’re partnering with a central government agency involved in shaping system-wide public policy. The organisation operates at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and ministerial engagement, with a strong focus on cross-agency collaboration and high-quality advice to government.
You’ll be joining a collaborative, high-performing policy group known for its professionalism, supportive culture, and strong networks across the public sector. The team values clarity, reliability, and a genuine commitment to service — and they also know how to enjoy their work along the way.

Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity
We’re seeking a Personal Assistant to provide one-to-one support to a senior Tier 3 leader who leads a high-profile policy portfolio.

The role sits within a wider business support group, but you’ll also be embedded in the policy function — providing vital support that helps the leader deliver on government priorities, manage cross-agency relationships, and lead their team effectively.
